Default Value

Fields to be trimmed

Information about fields for clearing spaces contained in strings:

  • output field name: Names of output fields.
  • trim type: Space clearing mode (clearing starting spaces, ending spaces, or starting and ending spaces).

None

Data Processing Rule

  • Clearing spaces at both ends of a value supports clearing spaces at the left end, at the right end, and at both ends.
  • If the input data is null, no conversion is performed.
  • If the number of input field columns is greater than the number of field columns actually included in the original data, all data becomes dirty data.

Example

Use the CSV File Input operator to generate fields A, B, and C.

The following figure shows the source file.

Configure the String Trim operator to generate three new fields D, E, and F.
